Anton Bloem

Anton has a particular interest in the QA/QC of data, parametric models, and their influence on design guideline implementation – for which back-analysis is an area of keen interest. He is very good at first-pass estimation, interpretation, and integration of rock mass classification systems used in both open pit and underground mine design, and is skilled at the reconciliation of all components of material modeling input parameters. His background in 3D data visualization and processing, in particular down-hole geophysics’ data interpretation for geotechnical domain delineation and rock mass parameter estimation, enables an experienced global approach to rock engineering design challenges.
